How Will Portability Affect Super Smash Brothers?

"We don't know much about Super Smash Bros. 3DS or its partner software on the Wii U. Why? Because the game hasn't even really begun development yet! We do know two solid facts: the title will have some sort of connectivity between the hand-held and home console version and Nintendo is looking into the possibilities of transferring customizable player data between the two versions. With the creator of the Super Smash Bros. Series, Masahiro Sakurai, still wrapping up work on Kid Icarus: Uprising, this is probably the only information we will know for awhile. For now we can only speculate. The Super Smash Bros. Series has never seen any sort of release on a portable platform, so the team will be moving into semi-uncharted territory. The question is, how will the unique aspects of the portable market and its connectivity to the Wii U version change Super Smash Bros."

I'm not so sure there will be a 3DS lite. The 3DS is roughly the same size as the DS lite, and if anything a larger screen would be nice. I'd expect a 3DS XL but not a 3DS lite. It doesn't really need to be flatter, and a significantly larger screen won't fit on the current model size.

As for Smash Bros. as a pack in with a 3DS XL... It would be all the reason I need to hand down my 3DS to a friend and make another 3DS purchase. Nintendo... You evil bastards... XD

Yes there will be. The top and bottom screens could be bigger. They will add better speakers. They could trim some fat to make it fit nice in your pocket. A better camera. Not saying the 3DS needs these thing because I'm perfectly happy with the one I got at launch but Nintendo will find a reason to release a new one in a couple years. Not as soon as the DS Lite since the 3DS doesn't have a bad design unlike the original DS. (My Mario Kart Bundle DS looked like a Virtual Boy on steroids)

I think other developers should make their own type of "Super Smash Brothers" game. Think if Microsoft or Sony made their own using ...well their own characters it would be a blast. I remember all the hours I put in Melee, gosh that was a fun game.

Yeah but where's the creativity there? It would be fun but why wastes money on three different games that are really the same thing? If they mixed it up a bit like making it a 3D fighter instead of a 2.5D thing then that would be cool though.
